Agenda ::

Wednesday April 9, 2008

Registration 8:00 am – 6:00 pm

Conference registration covers all activities on April 9 through April 11, 2008. However, pre-registration for the Tutorial/Workshops is required in order to allow the organizers to provide enough space and materials. For some Tutorial/Workshops, space may be limited.

For those who wish to attend one or more Tutorial/Workshops but not the conference, you must register and pay for that workshop. This fee includes the Tutorial/Workshop, break refreshments, and Wednesday evening’s Collaboration Mixer.

Tutorial/Workshop 1: Workshop on Nanoscale Experimental Methods and Modeling, Fee $70: A. T. Conlisk, Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State University and Minami Yoda, G. W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology Sponsored By The Ralph Regula School of Computational Science

8:20 am – 4:30 pm

Tutorial/Workshops 1 is designed for industry leaders in R&D, for graduate students, faculty and scientists who want to understand how to determine the proper approach to use in the design and evaluation of the efficiency of a given nanoproduct. Attendees will understand how to model micro and nanofluidic devices and how to make measurements using Atomic Force microscopy, microscale particle-image velocimetry, and laser-induced fluorescence.

Tutorial/Workshops 2: How to connect and work with the Third Frontier Pre-Seed Funds and ESPs. Fee $70: Northwest Territory Room (92 people max)

Tutorial/Workshops 2 is designed to inform industry on how to utilize the venture funds that have been set-up through the Third Frontier. Both early pre-seed and the ESP programs will be presented.

4:15 pm – 5:00 pm Ohio Third Frontier ESP Programs, “Dayton Region Signature Fund”, Judy Brinegar

Tutorial/Workshops 3: Technology Transfer 101-Building Bridges Between Ohio Industries and Ohio Universities ($70) Fallen Timber Room (120 people max)

1:30 pm – 3:40 pm

• This program will provide a basic overview of technology transfer in a University environment. It will focus on the faculty/inventor and collaboration with industry through sponsored research, licensing, and start-up business activities. It will discuss the key elements and strategies for successful technology transfer within a University.

• A case study will be presented a Wright Center of Innovation established by a $28 million grant from the State of Ohio. IDCAST is a $130 million collaboration of six Ohio universities, Federal Labs, and over 20 Ohio companies focused on bringing Remote Sensing and Chemical/Biological sensing application to market.
